Your Mother wears Army boots.

My kids' mother DID wear combat boots. They've always loved that line. Both of my kids are GI--Government Issue. Even my medical records say that having them was "in the line of duty."

My son is third generation Army. Grandpa fought in WW I.....Uncles saw action in WW II, Dad served during VN, and he served four years during X42.

Patriotism is the highest honor and your family has made us proud! Thanks to all who put on the uniform of the US military.

My First Sargent used to tell me that if the Army wanted me to have kids the Army would have issued them. I told him that the kids were GI, God issued. He got a kick out of that.

And that is the BEST kind of diversity there is. Thanks to all of you for your service. ;-)

I'm a Navy brat, but have recenlty worked in support of the Army and now work in support of the Air Force on OIF.

They didn't tell us that...some were still saying that if the Army wanted us to have SPOUSES, they would have issued us one. Well, my (then-)husband and I joined on the buddy-plan after several years of marriage...so...

:-)
